Sylvester Stallone can act. There. I said it. And as ridiculous as that statement may appear to some readers, you really do owe it to yourself to grasp a explore at “Cop Land,” and gape impartial how expedient of an actor Sylvester can be!
Who would contain that Stallone could appear on the same hide as Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, and Robert De Niro, and maintain his contain? Certainly not this viewer, and I admit that when I originally went to leer the film it was BECAUSE of Keitel, Liotta, and De Niro. So you can imagine unprejudiced how surprised I was that Stallone wasn’t blasted off the mask by the combined talent of his heavyweight co-stars.
Stallone plays “Sheriff Freddy Heflin,” the law in the puny, Fresh Jersey town of Garrison, honest across the George Washington Bridge. What makes Garrison special is that a big percentage of the residents are cops who work the other side of the bridge; hence the nick-name of “Cop Land.” There are very few burglaries in Garrison, in fact, there is very cramped CRIME in Garrison period, so Freddy’s days seem to be an endless round of completing paperwork for littering violations, cautioning the occasional drunk, and rescuing children’s soft toys from being accelerate over in the road.

This is a shame, because Freddy wants to be a Loyal cop, he wants to work the other side of the bridge, but an injury sustained when he saved a women who’s car ended up in the river has left him deaf in one ear. Awful Freddy would never pass the physical, but the town showed its appreciation by allowing him to be the Sheriff… kind-of a consolation prize.
But all is not well, there’s something scandalous in the town of Garrison, a corruption that’s eating at the towns soul, and this corruption is personified in the character of “Ray Donlan,” played by Keitel. When a fellow cop is enthusiastic in a questionable double homicide, Donlan initiates a cover-up that will have explosive consequences for the unexcited town of Garrison, but especially for himself and Sheriff Heflin. The fall-out will also engulf the Sheriff’s best friend, “Gary Figgis,” played by Ray Liotta, another “valid” cop, but one who’s sick of the corruption and is getting out. Also fervent is IAD staffer “Lt. Moe Tilden,” played by De Niro, who’s been tracking Donlan and his team, and is sure to bring them down.
This is an gracious ensemble cast that really shines in their roles, and Stallone, as I said before, is a revelation. He piled on about 40lbs to play the section, so what we behold is not the pumped-up, testosterone driven action man we have reach to know and cherish, but a quieter, humbler, slightly “stupid,” kind-a bumbling character. Dusky and ineffectual, he’s barely tolerated by Donlan and his cronies, who’s company he so desperately wants to withhold.

The chronicle is tight and economical, the dialogue has the ring of authenticity to it, and there’s a bitter-sweet romantic sub-plot between Freddy and one of the town’s residents that works perfectly within the chronicle. There’s a scene where he’s asked, by the woman he secretly loves, why he didn’t marry, “All the best girls were taken,” he replies, and you can practically peer the gigantic guy’s heart breaking in two!
Don’t be do off because Stallone has top billing, this is an reliable film that works on many levels, with a clutch of superbly realistic performances driven by a well constructed yarn, I would recommend it highly.
Cop Land is a homage to police corruption films like Sidney Lumet’s Serpico and Prince of the City. In many respects, Cop Land is also a new western, complete with a High Noon-style showdown. Miramax previously released this film on a movie-only DVD. This current version is a mountainous improvement but is it worth the upgrade?
Definitely.
“Cop Land: The Making of an Urban Western” is an estimable retrospective featurette. Stallone to be fervent in the role but the actor wanted to something different, to go relieve to his starving actor roots. After him, came De Niro and then everyone else followed.
Next, there is a “Storyboard Comparison” that allows one to gawk piece of the film’s climatic shoot-out simultaneously with the storyboards for it.
There are two deleted scenes with optional commentary.
Rounding out the extras is a solid audio commentary with director James Mangold, producer Cathy Konrad and actors Sylvester Stallone and Robert Patrick. Not surprisingly, Mangold and Stallone dominate this track. Stallone comes across as a very humble and capable guy. Mangold keeps everyone talking, acting as an informal moderator and asking everyone questions. This is a really excellent track and definitely worth a listen if you’re a fan of this movie.
Cop Land features a killer cast and allows them to flex their acting chops with a superb screenplay. This DVD is a distinct improvement over the previous bare bones edition and is worth the upgrade. Miramax has finally done this film justice with an suitable special edition.
